Nightsong by Sally Soweol Han
Nightsong by Sally Soweol Han is a story about a young boy who is tired of visiting the adults with his adult (assuming mother). But soon it is time to go home and the adult and child head for the bus, hop on and are leaving the city behind. Until the wheels on the bus don’t go round and round, and one needs to be fixed. A long day got longer, but our young boy decided to listen to the sounds around him and explore […]
The Weedflower by Elizabeth Davaze
I might have reviewed the title The Weedflower by Elizabeth Davaze and illustrated by Marianne Ferrer before, but I don’t remember. However, I do remember reading it before. And I must have been in two very good moods those days. Usually, a book that is a bit “extra sweet” and a bit “overly modern” is not my usual thing. Therefore, maybe it is because I am trying to keep some plants on the front porch (again) this year, and there is a flower box with […]
Flowerheart by Catherine Bakewell

The sun and her flowers by Rupi Kaur
This was a kindle selection, and I can’t really remember how I got to it. I think I was trying to fulfill a certain category for the seasonal kindle challenges, but I don’t even remember what the category was! I’ve never been a big fan of poetry, because I always get caught up in whether it rhymes or not, and whether it should rhyme or not. I also feel a little dumb when I read poetry, because I find that more often than not, I […]
Forget Me Not by Julie Soto
Ama Torres is an excellent wedding planner, who really gives her all to make sure the weddings she arranges go off without a hitch. However, personally, she doesn’t believe in marriage or in relationships that really last a lifetime. Probably because her mother has been married so many times (Ama has arranged a lot of her weddings). Now she has a whole host of former step-siblings, some of which she works with, others who she can rope in when she needs a favour. Despite Ama […]
The Den That Octopus Built by Randi Sonenshine
Before the Seed: How Pollen Moves by Susannah Buhrman-Deever
I have probably mentioned before that I was never a science person. However, if I had been taught that science was not just chemicals and numbers and formulas maybe I would have been into it more (don’t get me wrong, I had good teachers, just some did not know how to teach me). Therefore, as an adult I am enjoying my journey into Seemingly-Non-Science-Science areas. And of course, I have found books to help me. Books that show nature is a science. And since I […]
